I read about a professor who decreased the amount of sleep he needed to 4-5 hours per night. I don't remember who he was or how he did it. Sorry.

a lot of people live fine off 5 hours a night. i personally feel the best after 6 hours.. unfortunately i love sleep, so even when i wake up and feel great after that amount of time, i tend to fall back asleep, then feel like **** when i wake up 2-3 hours later.

I think you can feel more refreshed if you take sleep cycles into account. Most ppl say sleep in increments of 3 or 1.5 hours.

This. It's all about sleep cycles and waking up at the end of a cycle rather than in the middle of it.

I've heard numerous studies (too lazy to look them up SORRY) say that there is no possible way to live without proper sleep. People who think they are performing well with no sleep are simply not aware of their sub-par performance. I've heard studies say that if you get less than 7 hours of sleep per night, statistically you are reducing your life span.

even 7 would be great if I could feel fully energized from that, however I literally require double digit hours of sleep in order to feel my finest

read that too somewhere, while i was studying the polyphasic sleep. It has never been proven one way or the other. However, I have read multiple times that just like every person handles different situations, well, differently, the same goes for sleep. If I sleep and naturally wake up after say 4 hours, then there's nothing wrong with that.

I've read about polyphasic sleep and it seems ideal but my work / social life would never permit it

seriously I would consider the light therapy. Some days when I don't get enough sleep I feel like it gives me a small boost to get through the morning. If you are sleeping 9 hours and still having trouble it seems like you have a problem... that isn't normal. I'm one of the people who needs 8 hours to feel good, but if you aren't good on 8 then you might have sleep apnea or something that is hurting your sleep. Don't let it go unchecked... can cause health problems but more importantly you're probably always tired!

Im not afraid to die on a treadmill. I wont be outworked. I will run.Period.You may be more talented than me, you may be smarter than me and all those things, but if we get on the treadmill, your goin to get off first or Im goin to die. Its that simple. The commodity that I see in most people that arent getting to the places they want or arent achieving the things they want is strictly based on hustle, based on being outworked, strictly based on missing the right opportunities.
